Walking Meditation to Relieve Anxiety

Moving your body is a great way to get energy moving and release anxiety. One of my favorite forms of movement is walking. There's nothing quite like a crisp morning, soaking in the sun, hearing the birds chirp, and walking around the pond!

Last year I was introduced to a walking meditation that I simply fell in love with by fellow Energy Practitioner, Robin Friedman. This is directly from a post she made on Facebook. I've shared it before, but wanted to share it again, because it is that good! Give this walking meditation practice a try next time you go out for a stroll!

A great simple walking exercise for feeling happier and more positive.

When taking a walk, try adding a positive affirmation and go through the alphabet, and pick a positive affirmation for each letter.

With every step I take, I'm feeling more abundant

With every step I take, I'm getting brighter and more brilliant

With every step I take, I'm consciously creating

With every step I take, I'm divinely directed

With every step I take, I'm eager and enthusiastic about my path

With every step I take, I'm feeling fabulously fit and financially free

With every step I take, I'm grateful and glowing . . .

Etc.

Notice how uplifted and energized you feel!

Using the alphabet has three additional positive benefits:

#1 Momentum - It takes a while to go through the whole alphabet!

"When you repeatedly return to a pure thought, maintaining it for at least 68 seconds, in a short period of time (hours in some cases or a few days in others), that thought becomes a dominant thought. And once you achieve a dominant thought, you will experience matching manifestations until you change it."

Esther and Jerry Hicks

#2 Structure - The alphabet gives a framework to your affirmations. If your mind wanders, you can just return to whatever letter you left off. You will be able to remember where you were and carry on.

#3 Creativity - It will direct your mind to think of new or unusual words that you might not otherwise think of. For example, for Q, "quickly "and "quality" are delicious words. It's like opening a new door to find the surprises behind it.
